Chapter 546 Holy Temple (1/2)

Naturally, the family of Wuzhong would not dare to go after Shen Lian directly, so they had to go for Ah Lian instead.

Their request was simple, to be associated with Shen Lian the great State Preceptor of Xia empire through Ah Lian, even if it meant becoming Shen Lian's slaves.

Ah Lian could fend them off for a day or two, but she could not endure their pester day and night, so she finally entered the Qing Xuan Cave to see Shen Lian.

Qing Xuan Cave had almost a hundred stone rooms, large or small. Shen Lian's was the largest and brightly lit even without any fire torch or night glowing pearl.

Ah Lian was already familiar with this sight, having seen this a few times.

In the middle of the stone room, Shen Lian sat on a stone couch in lotus position, his mind in a fugue of the universe, and his body surrounded by lotus shaped Qi of Dao, full of celestial charisma as if there was a galaxy around him.

Below the stone couch lied the black tiger, dozing lazily, only when Ah Lian entered it finally opened its eyes to examine her.

Ah Lian cautiously walked towards the stone couch and stopped five steps away from it, she was still slightly afraid of the black tiger. Shen Lian opened his eyes too, and the magical sight subsequently vanished. He fixed his eyes towards her.

Ah Lian went straight to the point on why she went to see him, and nervously expecting his reply.

Shen Lian asked, ”You couldn't say no to them?”

Ah Lian looked at Shen Lian's calm look and felt slightly uneasy. This celestial teacher was usually very mild-mannered, but she felt like she had done something wrong this time, so she feared Shen Lian would scold her.

Ah Lian nodded slightly, ”They would not stop pestering me.”

Shen Lian sighed, ”Since I have taken over this mountain, it would be considered that I had some connection with you lot from the Wuzhong's. Alright, you shall descend the mountain and ask them to erect a statue of me, and then build a holy temple around it. If they are sincere towards me, they will be rewarded. If they are not, you shall leave them be.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

Ah Lian let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, celestial teacher did not blame her, he even provided a solution.

She nodded, ”I shall respond to them right away.”

Shen Lian added, ”Also, once you have descended, you do not have to stay in Qing Xuan Cave anymore. Just go together with your daughter.”

Ah Lian was shocked. She replied bitterly, ”Are you blaming me for causing you trouble, celestial teacher?”

”You are no longer the woman whom everyone could bully. So, you shall return to where you came from,” Shen Lian answered. Actually, if she could purify her heart and stay out of the mortal world, Shen Lian would not let her descend. However she could not achieve that, and it would be better to send her back.

Not everyone was made to be a cultivator, as there were too many temptations in the world, even celestials and gods had hard times getting rid of them.

Ah Lian did not argue. She kneeled and kowtowed towards Shen Lian and said, ”Your servant know very well I cannot repay all the good deeds celestial teacher have done for me and my daughter. As soon as the holy temple is built, I will worship celestial teacher every day and night.”

Shen Lian smiled lightly and waved for her leave. He actually did not expect any repayment from Ah Lian, but mortals were heavy hearted. If he did not agree to any repayment, they could not have peace.

Ah Lian went back to her own stone room and left with her daughter.
